Please accept my family's sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one Mrs . Dannenberg. May you find comfort in fond memories of her, and peace in God's assured promise to awaken those asleep in death to perfect health and conditions under his new Earthly government.
We met Grandpa Doyle and Nana June in January 1991 when we moved to Escondido. We became fast family friends. They both loved people. She loved her daughter and her family, and she loved Jim her son and their other children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved so many people. We would go over to their home on Flora Vista every week. Sometimes four times a week. She was known at Bethel for her famous new members' dinners. She would cook so many entrees so that everyone in attendance could have whatever suited their fancy. No paper plates of course. The finest china and we would all eat in every crook and cranny of that house.
Nana became our children's Nana instantly. She loved them so much and spent a lot of time with them. Whenever they were home from college they would always ask to go to visit her.
When I was heading to deliver our son Tobi, Nana asked if she could watch our Princess for me. I said, no, but I need someone to watch Tobi when he is born so I could do BSF. She quickly said, yes, that was in 1992. I had Toye a couple of years later and she watched him too until both boys turned two respectfully. Grandpa Doyle and Nana would plan their trips around our children so they could watch them all. Nana loved people. Her roses were the best in town. She loved to entertain. She would make the most amazing rolls, and as many times as I tried to make them, they would never turn out the way she made them, She loved her siblings so much and would go to any length to cater to them. She loved to laugh and whenever I needed a listening ear she would listen and smile.
One of my fond memories of her was when she took all my kids and her great-grand-girls to La Jolla to see the sea lions. She was giving me a break. On their way back, they stopped at Thrifty's to get ice cream, Princess asked for Neapolitan ice cream, but she had never had that kind of ice cream before. Since she did not want to disappoint her Nana, she held on to the ice cream all the way from La Jolla to Escondido. Nana never got angry with her even with all the melted ice cream all over her car. Another memory I have is of when my precious Toye boy came home from the hospital after he was born. He weighed all of 5 pounds and 6 ounces. Every newborn clothing was very big on him. Nana came back shortly after she had said goodbye with a bagful of premie clothes for him. There were a lot of them because that is all he wore for the first year of his life. Her remark was," we can't have him in oversized clothes." I had never even heard of premie clothes at that time. It was a new thing way back then. I could write about a lot more wonderful things she did to show how much she loved us but I will hold those memories close to my heart. The last time Princess and I saw Nana was a few weeks ago when she was starting to eat her lunch. She was sitting in the dining hall at Crest View Manor. Nana had the most winning smile to die for.
We will see her again soon.
We Love You, Nana!
